wolf4sdl

[Moritz Kroll]

Hi Fabian,

with SVN revision 262, Wolf4SDL now contains a GPL alternative from
DOSBox for the MAME OPL emulator, so there should be no license
problems anymore with Debian.

I also applied your MinGW portability fix, thanks for that!

Thanks to all for your work on Wolf4SDL!

Best regards
Moritz
